Part III

Kitana looked out the window and her face turned white. She knew who was outside. She turned to everyone else.

"It's my brother, Daniel!" she whispered loudly. "He's doing his weekly check up on me! You four!" she pointed to the vampires. "Hide in...Tina's room!"

"Why my room?" asked Tina.

"Because Daniel never inspects your room he inspects my room!" replied Kitana. While the vampires hid Kitana opened the door. "Hi, Dan! How's it going?" The twenty year-old smiled and walked in.

"Doing well," he said. "What were you and Tina just screeching about?"

"She and I were just debating about a scene in one of her stories that's all," replied Kitana nervously. Daniel raised an eyebrow.

"You sounded more like you were trying to hide something but oh well," he said. "Anyways, Mom wanted me to tell you that she and Dad are going to be out of town for the next week so if you want to talk to them it'll have to be on Mom or Dad's cell phone. And also, I brought my Rhapsody and Epica CDs for you to borrow." Daniel pulled the CDs out from his pocket and handed them to Kitana.

"Kitana, you know the penalty if you scratch either of them!" Daniel pretended to cut his throat in demonstration. "Is that clear?" Kitana nodded nervously.

"What ever you say, big brother," she said innocently. Daniel gave his sister a funny look.

"The way you're acting it's almost as if you're hiding a bunch of homicidal vampires in here," he said. "Well, see you next week!" With Daniel left the little house and drove away. Kitana wiped away the sweat that had been forming on her face.

"It's safe!" she called out. There was no reply from Tina's room. "I said it's safe! You all can come out now!" Kitana opened the door to Tina's room. Her face turned white at what she saw. Tina was unconscious in Marishka's arms. "What did you do to Tina?" Dracula smiled.

"I think it would be safer if you two were not here but somewhere else," he said. "Say Castle Dracula?" Before Kitana could reply Dracula placed his hand over Kitana's eyes. Her body went limp as she fell asleep.

Part IV

Kitana and Tina found themselves in a dark room. Kitana opened her eyes first. She couldn´t see much but she noticed Tina´s still unconscocious form beside her. She started rocking her. "Tina! Wake up! Please!" Tina´s head fell on her other shoulder. As Kitana touched her neck she could feel two bite marks there.

"Oh, my god", she whispered, "No, this can´t be! Tina, you have to wake up! Can you hear me?"

Kitana spun around as she heard footsteps coming from behind her. "She can´t hear you. She isn´t dead... at least not yet, but she soon will be undead. I´ll make her bride and so will I do with you." She knew that it was Dracula.

"Why did you do that? She didn´t do anything to you!", Kitana screamed, holding her tears back.

"Does she mean so much to you?", Dracula questioned, "You don´t know her long. But at least one of you has to become my bride. I told that to Tina, too. And she agreed to get you free." Now she was speechless.

Tina awoke, holding her head. "Where am I?" - "Good morning, my love", said Dracula and walked over to her. Slowly he helped her to her feet. "What happened?", Tina asked.

Kitana found her voice again: "We are in Dracula´s castle! And he bit you!"

Tina looked confused. Looking up at him she asked: "Is that true?"

He quickly covered her neck with his hand and healed the wound. "Of course not, my dear. You are only in my castle as... a guest."

"Are you sure that you don´t mean as breakfast?" He chuckled. "Yes, I am", he lied and glared at Kitana, "You and your little friend are only a bit confused from the journey. Let me take you to the dining room."

Kitana walked over to Dracula, walking by his side. She didn´t want to Tina to die like that. They left the dark room and entered a much larger one wich were brightened by candles. The brides were already sitting on a long table. In this light Kitana noticed that they weren´t in their jeans and shirt anymore...
